Whether you're organising a corporate event at some of the most prestigious celebrations on the charter calendar , celebrating a big birthday party or commemorating a milestone celebration like an anniversary or even a wedding reception, these superyachts have all the space and amenities for hosting epic soirées at sea...

With expansive deck spaces, ample facilities and decadent décor including a live aquarium, Baglietto’s flagship Vicky perfectly sets the scene for celebratory festivities. Lobby spaces on this 59-metre superyacht are completed with a piano for late-night entertainment and an eye-catching aquarium, plus a toybox bursting to the brim will keep everyone on the water entertained. To continue the after-party, guests can take a dip in the sundeck swimming pool or join the primary charterers in the master suite’s private saloon for a nightcap.

Capacity at quay: 80 guests

Vicky is managed by Ocean Independence with a weekly charter rate starting from €250,000 per week.

Secret Life

Take your guests back in time on board classic 1974 Feadship Secret Life . Permanently based in the party capital of St Tropez, the ample deck spaces on this 45-metre superyacht are equipped with elegant al fresco lounges and dining areas that make her an ideal host for corporate events or scaled-up celebrations. Indoors, her versatile main saloon can be divided into two separate rooms via a discreet sliding door during events, and guests looking for a quiet spot to break away from the crowd can also retreat to a hidden library.

Capacity at quay: 150 guests

Secret Life is managed by IYC with a weekly charter rate starting from €89,000.

Once a former passenger vessel, Dream was transformed into a private superyacht after nearly a decade of refit works. And while she is now bedecked in the glamorous interiors befitting a luxury charter, her vast interior spaces allow her to accommodate many more guests than would usually be able to step on board, with 18 suites for 36 guests and room for up to 40 members of crew. Party guests can arrive or depart in style thanks to the touch-and-go helipad, while a Japanese-style dining room with a teppanyaki grill, a private cinema, a two-level pool with a swim-up bar and a fully-equipped dive centre offer all the amenities for a variety of party themes and occasions.

Capacity at quay: 36 guests

Dream is managed by Hill Robinson with a weekly charter rate starting from €2,000,000.

The bridge deck on Royal Denship superyacht Force Blue , complete with a cocktail bar, professional DJ station and disco lighting offers the perfect setup for partying the night away. There’s also a sundeck hot tub, a games table in the saloon and an impressive walk-in wine cellar next to the formal dining room to keep guests entertained. The next day, stunning spa facilities will revive the sore-of-head, while the plain exhausted can retreat to the cinema. Currently undergoing an extensive winter refit, Force Blue will be back on the charter market this summer having been extended to 70 metres with an enlarged beach club and refreshed interiors.

Capacity at quay: 60 guests

Force Blue is managed for charter by Fraser , with a charter rate starting from €330,000 per week.

Sea Breeze III

After undergoing an extensive refit in 2020, classic superyacht Sea Breeze III is back on the charter market, offering the perfect setting for an event or celebration by combining old-school charm with modern facilities. New additions include an extended swimming platform with a barbecue for al fresco celebrations, plus a hydrotherapy hot tub on the foredeck and a well-stocked toybox. As Sea Breeze III is permanently based in Auckland, New Zealand, guests stepping on board for a party can enjoy the scenic cruising grounds of the Hauraki Gulf and wider south pacific, complemented by locally-sourced seafood and speciality wines.

Capacity at quay: 99 guests

Sea Breeze III is managed by 37 south with a weekly charter rate starting from $65,000. 

Showcasing sporty lines and with a top speed of 38 knots, 50 metre  Da Vinci is one of the largest Mangustas available on the charter market. Launched in 2017, on board highlights include a large bathing platform, a spa pool on the 15 metre long foredeck, and an impressive open plan interior. The main saloon is the entertainment hub of the yacht, featuring a luxe marble bar and gilded, Gatsby-esque touches throughout.

Capacity at quay: 100 guests

Da Vinci is managed for charter by Northrop & Johnson with a weekly rate starting from €225,000.

Esmeralda's expansive decks are the ideal setting for a special anniversary, birthday or corporate event. The upper aft deck on this 62 metre superyacht has a bar, al fresco dining and optional awnings for protection from the sun. Meanwhile, guests can enjoy 360-degree views from the panoramic sun deck complete with a raised jacuzzi and sun loungers. Her striking, classic-inspired lines will turn heads in any port, while lavishly decorated interiors set the scene for a night of glamorous festivities.

Esmeralda is managed by Fraser with a weekly charter rate starting from $230,000.

After an extensive interior refit in 2018, this 73 metre  Lurssen is certainly in ship shape. There's space for 200 revellers on Titania's sun and pool decks alone, while a 3.8 metre stern extension houses a beach club with sauna, bar and sofas, which converts into a stylish nightclub for those looking to continue the party into the night. For smaller gatherings, the pool deck bar seats eight – with another four pool seats – and can be set up for a DJ. Primary charterers staying on board can get glammed up for events in the beauty salon with the help of the on board beautician before other guests arrive, then can unwind after the festivities with a treatment from the resident masseuse.

Capacity at quay: 200 guests

Titania is managed for charter by Burgess and has a weekly starting rate of €525,000.

For parties where music is a key element, 62 metre motor yacht RoMa is more than sufficiently equipped for dockside events as her impressive audio system includes a party mode that provides music to all decks. There's also a games table for playing poker if the event is casino themed, while her main saloon bar is an ideal spot for pre and post dinner cocktails. A welcoming entrance lobby from which guests can head up to the party via a glass elevator sets the mood for revellers on arrival. 

RoMa is managed by Northrop & Johnson with a weekly charter rate starting from €345,000.

Yacht Party: By Day or Night?

Having a yacht party is a great way to make your bash stand out from the rest. From the breathtaking views and first-class service to the simple fact that you’re aboard a yacht, there are many unique characteristics.

One of the stark differences from a typical event venue is that, once aboard, you’ll enjoy a beautiful cruise on the water–an exciting feature for our clients and their guests. Depending on the time of day, your celebration can bask in the famous Southern California sunshine or sparkle under the night stars. Yacht parties offer a lot of flexibility making them an ideal choice for almost any occasion.

This leads to a question we often hear from our clients: Should we hold our event during the day or at night?

While both have their advantages, there are a few questions to consider first.

How formal is it?

Evaluate the scope of your event. Do you envision cocktail dresses and sharp suits? Formal gowns and classic tuxedos? Then your event is best suited for the evening.

If you’re opting for a more casual feel with a bright, airy vibe then daytime is probably best.

A general rule of thumb is that formal events (e.g. weddings, Bar/Bat Mitzvahs, proms, corporate galas , etc.) are planned in the evening while lighter celebrations (e.g. family reunions, baby and bridal showers, engagement and graduation parties, etc.) occur during the day.

Who’s invited?

Scan your guest list and get a sense of the invitees.

Are they early birds? Night owls? Are their weekends filled with work shifts and kid’s soccer games? If you answered “yes,” then a night yacht party will most likely be preferred.

If the group is a little more flexible (i.e. not tied to a specific schedule) then a midday jaunt will probably work just fine.

What’s on the menu?

Decide what you plan to serve your guests. If you’re feeling a three-course sit down dinner complete with bread service and passed hors d’oeuvres, the evening is more appropriate.

Daytime events are a little more comfortable and often call for a more casual setting featuring a fantastic buffet or a gorgeous brunch spread. Either way, food is a MUST for any event and should be served accordingly.

Sunset, stars or sunny skies?

Many clients consider the gorgeous backdrop of the Marina del Rey harbor as an enhanced feature of their event. In this case, clients look forward to a spectacular sunset for amazing photos while others rely on the twinkling lights of the harbor and stars to add a romantic feel.

Our daytime clients really emphasize the sights on the water and enjoy the incomparable views of the Los Angeles coastline–from Catalina Island and the Palos Verdes peninsula all the way to Malibu. Daytime events are also fun for spotting wildlife and seeing other yachts in the harbor.

A nighttime yacht party will have  a different vibe. Depending on the nature of your celebration, dancing and socializing might be more like dancing at a nightclub. Alternatively, for smaller celebrations, the night sky is the perfect backdrop for a luxurious  and intimate experience.

Your choices depend on what your goal is. What do you want to experience with your guests?

Frequently Asked Questions: Day vs Night Yacht Parties

Q: what are the main differences between day and night yacht parties.

A: Day parties offer bright, airy vibes with stunning coastal views, while night parties provide a more formal atmosphere with twinkling lights and starry skies. The choice often depends on the event type, guest preferences, and desired ambiance.

Q: Which types of events are better suited for daytime yacht parties?

A: Daytime yacht parties are often ideal for more casual events such as family reunions, baby showers, bridal showers, engagement parties, and graduation celebrations. These events benefit from natural lighting and scenic daytime views.

Q: What kinds of events work best for evening yacht parties?

A: Evening yacht parties are typically better for formal events like weddings, Bar/Bat Mitzvahs, proms, corporate galas, and other celebrations that call for a more sophisticated atmosphere. The nighttime setting lends itself well to elegant attire and romantic lighting.

Q: How does the menu differ between day and night yacht parties?

A: Daytime events often feature more casual dining options like buffets or brunch spreads. Evening events are more suited to formal dining experiences, such as three-course sit-down dinners with bread service and passed hors d’oeuvres.

Q: Can I have a party that spans both day and night?

A: Yes, depending on the duration of your event, you could potentially experience both day and night on your cruise. This could allow you to enjoy the best of both worlds – daytime views and nighttime ambiance. Discuss this option with our event planners.

Still Not Sure? 

Consider how you want your event to look. For example, enchancements like lighting will produce different looks depending on the time of day. Did you want to do special uplighting? A gobo on the dance floor or on the side of the yacht? If yes, then maybe an evening event is best.

If you have specific colors or a theme you want to feature, then consider whether or not a daylight or an evening yacht party will complement your color palette. Did you want to use glow sticks on the dance floor or have sparklers for your grand exit once the yacht docks? Or did you want to keep it simple with natural lighting? These are all questions that will help determine when to hold your event.

Remember, you can customize every aspect of your yacht party to create the exact experience you’re looking for. Our expert planners are here to make the process effortless.

We hope this information helped guide you in the right direction with your event planning. For additional details, please call 310-827-2220 or click  here  to submit an event query form.

7 New Dayboats That Bring Superyacht-Style Design to the High Seas

Think of them more as day yachts., kevin koenig, kevin koenig's most recent stories.

• This 121-Foot Superyacht Is Faster Than Most Boats Half Its Size
• Maserati’s First Electric Boat Delivers Style and Fun on the Water—We Took It for a Spin
• This New 101-Foot Superyacht Has an Unusually Large Social Enclave on Its Main Deck
• Share This Article

A dayboat is exactly what it sounds like—a vessel to spend the day on before retiring to somewhere else to spend the night. Traditionally it’s a European style of boating, relegated to boats in the 30- to 50-foot range. But in the last few years, thanks to a flood of new owners, the dayboat market has seen big design changes and enormous growth—literally. The boats keep getting larger to the point where many should be rightfully be called day yachts . The trend started with the HCB Custom 65 . The boat, Estrella , was a monster center-console design, powered by six outboards totaling more than 3000 hp. That 2018 launch set a new standard for dayboats.

But the new generation of maxi-sized dayboats aren’t limited to utilitarian center consoles. The 77-foot Wajer that former quarterback Tom Brady purchased last year is a good example of a more yacht-like design, while the 115-ft. Vanquish Veloce VQ115 is an even more dramatic case.

These new designs, all with large staterooms, show how much the definition of dayboat has changed from smaller open boats. The intent of the design is now as important as the form—to maximize exterior space, and with it, the number of guests who can come on board to enjoy a day on the water. There are the usual salons, galleys and heads, but the focus is the exterior, or in most cases, the blending of the interior and exterior through large glass doors that slide and conceal to connect inside and out.

Here are seven of the largest, newest dayboats on the water today.

Vanquish VQ115 Veloce

Vanquish’s VQ115 Veloce is the largest dayboat on this list. The 115 has an aluminum hull, and with triple 2,650-horsepower MTU Rolls-Royce V16s matched to surface drives, Vanquish says it can hit speeds of 50 mph. The VQ115 has two separate tender garages: one for a VQ16 and the other a VQ11, both bearing a resemblance to the mothership. A Jacuzzi on the boat’s foredeck is sure to be a popular at anchor, while the aft cockpit connects to an open-arrangement salon via sliding glass doors. That arrangement puts the day in day yacht. A boat this size will be able to accommodate four crew members.

Scout 670 LX

Currently under build in South Carolina, the Scout 670 LX will be the largest center console ever built when it debuts at the 2024 Miami International Boat Show. With five 600-horsepower Mercury outboards, this Scout should see top speeds close to 60 mph. Three different versions of this boat will be made available, including an LXF (luxury fish), LXC (luxury cruiser), and LXS (luxury sport). The boat was designed in conjunction with superyacht design studio Harrison Eidsgaard. It will be constructed in carbon-fiber epoxy. The forepeak master will have its own en suite—a design breakthrough for vessels of this type.

When you’re the greatest quarterback of all time, and also find yourself back on the singles scene in your early 40s, what better way to re-acclimate yourself than a hot boat? And that’s exactly what Tom Brady bought for himself. The Wajer 77 is a Dutch-built dayboat with one of the most beautiful sterns in yachting. It has a 40-mph top speed and cruising range of over 400 miles. Wajer’s trademark walkaround design opens up the alfresco entertainment options onboard, meaning the boat can ferry large numbers of guests comfortably to the sandbar and back. The boat also has three staterooms, plus crew accommodations for two, as you might expect from a dayboat this large.

With an axe bow and a reverse-rake windshield, mirrored by a reverse-rake windscreen on its flybridge, the Pardo Endurance 60 conjures up the profile of a stylish workboat. But it is built for play. Its walkaround design couples with foldout terraces in the cockpit to open up the deck space for entertaining. A hydraulic swim platform aft holds a tender for easier beach access, or it can double as a beach club. The Pardo has twin 600-horspower Volvo Penta D8s matched to IPS drives, making it easy to dock and maneuver at slow speeds. The boat runs the low-to-mid-20-mph range.

Bluegame 75

Unveiled last year at the Cannes Yachting Festival, the Bluegame 75 is the first edition in a line of multihulls the Italian builder plans to release. Bluegame is known for its innovative designs, and this boat was penned in conjunction with Bernardo Zuccon and Piero Lissoni with a hullform that mimics an America’s Cup chase boat. The 75 will also be able to carry up to 56 solar panels to minimize its carbon footprint. The interior layout is intended to maximize the boat’s natural beaminess. Open arrangements the norm particularly on the lower deck, where an unorthodox salon lies at sea level, and the upper deck is fully open for social events.

Zeelander 7

The 66-foot Zeelander 7 is this Dutch yard’s new flagship. Zeelanders all have similar lines as well as high levels of fit and finish. The boat has a foldout beach club from its transom, with a generous amount of tumblehome. A four-stool bar at the bulwark separating the cockpit and salon complements a dining settee in the aft section of the cockpit. The boat’s fully enclosed salon has nearly 360-degree worth of windows. This boat can reach 40 mph at top end.

From Brazil comes the Okean 80, a boat clearly built for a party. Like its smaller sisters, the builder’s flagship has foldout terraces to port and starboard on its main deck. Also on the main deck is a pane of smart glass between the helm and salon that can become see-through or opaque at the touch of a button. Up top, the 80’s flybridge features a wetbar and modular furniture. A beach club at the hydraulic swim platform is partially recessed into the transom for shade, a design trait which adds a sense of gravitas to the space.

• How to sail at night

Captains are often asked if it's possible to sail at night. In the vast majority of cases, the answer is yes, unless you are just starting out. You just need to know the specifics of night sailing — the rules of boat lighting, beacon signals, have navigation and nautical charts handy, and most importantly, follow basic safety rules on board. So, do you know what night sailing entails?

You can't do it without the correct lights

While on land, lights are primarily there to help us see, at sea it's the other way around. All boats must be properly lit for other vessels to see. And, a boat doesn't work like a car either, where we shine our headlights on the road ahead to see what's in front of us. At sea we rely on navigation, nautical charts, lighthouses and the captain's knowledge.

Basic boat lights include running lights, steaming lights and anchor lights. There are clearly defined and standardized rules for lighting a ship  under sail at night . So the question of how to light a yacht at night has a very simple answer. Running lights, or side lights, show other vessels where your port and starboard sides are, with red indicating port and green starboard, and you must also have a white stern light on.

Lighting the yacht at night is very important because, unlike during the day, the helmsman cannot judge the distance and direction  of other boats by sight. Running lights make the position and direction of the surrounding vessels visible, as well as their approximate distance, and helps to avoid possible collisions. Radar is also highly practical in this respect, as it shows the size and distance of the vessel.

However, when sailing there can be situations where the sails need to be lowered, and with that, the lighting also needs to be changed. If travelling under motor power , a steaming light  (masthead light)  must be turned on , which shines at the same angle as the side lights. When a sailboat is not under sail, it has to abide by the rules set out for power boats by COLREG (The International Rules for Preventing Collisions at Sea).

Lighting regulations when at anchor are again different. When at anchor at sea , only the anchor light should be on . According to the regulations this could be either a 360-degree white light atop the mast, or a light suspended from the boom, above the foredeck or on a furled genoa. If the boat is moored in port, the light is not normally used.

Navigation, GPS and maps

Nowadays, GPS and navigation aids integrated into the boat or that work as mobile apps are commonly used to determine the position of the boat. Modern technology is very accurate and reliable, but it is still worth understanding, reading and checking your position on  paper nautical charts . After all, almost any skipper will tell you that their GPS or navigation system has at some point told them they were on land, even when tens or hundreds of metres from shore.

Thanks to nautical charts, you will not only know of possible danger spots, but also lighthouses , enabling you to easily and accurately determine your position with the help of a compass. Each lighthouse is different, being lit and flashing in a unique way. A nautical chart will tell you how to identify a lighthouse by the number of flashes, their frequency and the colour of the light. To determine your exact position, you’ll then need two lighthouses in sight that serve as reference points for each other.

YACHTING.COM TIP: Lighthouses are not only practical, but they are often buildings with impressive architecture that are well worth stopping off at. Take a look at  15 lighthouses you must visit .

Safety is paramount when sailing at night

Even during the day, there are clear rules regarding the movement of the crew on board. Basically, the crew should not stand unless they are engaged in manoeuvres. In all other cases, they should be sitting on benches, at the side of the boat when heeling, or in the cabin. Apart from the fact that a standing crew member could obstruct the helmsman's view, it also poses a greater risk of falling overboard . If you're interested in getting to know this subject in more detail, check out our article Sailing Etiquette A to Z .

At night, the rules are even stricter to ensure the crew remain as safe as possible and avoid damaging the yacht. If a crew member is on deck at night while sailing, they should wear a lifejacket  and ideally be attached to the boat with a lifebelt or harness.

Except for really experienced seafarers, the rule of thumb is that there should be at least  two people on board when sailing at night. And the captain should schedule shifts so that there are always two  rested crew members on board. After all, you need to be doubly vigilant when sailing at night, and staying awake all night is certainly not conducive to alertness — especially when manoeuvring  or entering port. For the same reasons alcohol is prohibited when night sailing. While during the day, crew members other than the helmsman can toast Neptune or have one glass of wine or beer, drinking alcohol is not permitted during a voyage at night. By all means celebrate a successful journey upon arrival in port at a local tavern, but it definitely pays to keep a clear head at sea.

Specifics of night sailing and boat handling

Steering and controlling the boat  is not particularly different during the day and at night. There are just a few nuances to make sailing that bit smoother. If you're on a vessel you know well, that’s one thing, but if you're on a charter boat , it's worth marking the sheets and other lines so that you know your way around in the dark.

Sailing at night, it is also important to assess  the weather conditions well. What you would normally do during the day can be significantly more challenging at night and requires a more careful assessment of weather conditions and weather patterns. It is always better to choose smaller sails and if you have even the slightest doubt about anything, postpone the trip. 

When  entering a harbour  or sailing close to shore, be doubly cautious. There are several risk factors. During the day, the surrounding boats, the rocks and the potential hazards on the surface and below are visible. At night you have to rely on navigation, charts and lighting. When entering the harbour, charts and GPS can provide you many clues but lights can cause issues. For example, you might get dazzled by the light from the shore, the anchor lights of other boats are easily confused with the lights on land, and, last but not least, you may encounter poorly lit fishing boats. However, if you keep in mind all of these potential risks, you will arrive safely in the harbour.

The magic of night sailing

When compared to sailing during the day, night sailing places more demands on the captain's experience and knowledge of sailing regulations. But it is also a truly romantic experience. Millions of stars glistening in the night sky and the waves sparkling in the moonlight. If you're lucky, sailing out of the mist from land on a clear night with a near full moon, it will seem almost like daylight.

If you're serious about sailing and steering your boat, there are other benefits to night sailing. Navigating at night sharpens the senses and enhances the sailing experience as well as your experience of the sea itself. It truly gives a whole new meaning to sailing. But if all you want is to just enjoy yourself, night sailing is one of the most romantic experiences you can have. Check out our article on how to enjoy romance on board a yacht charter .

Night sailing – the essential guide for offshore cruisers

• April 19, 2017

Chris Tibbs on how to prepare for and enjoy offshore night watches

With a full moon and following wind, night sailing can be one of the great pleasures to be had when passagemaking; but on a dark night in a gale it can be very stressful and leave you longing for dawn.

Whether you are crossing the Channel or crossing an ocean, sailing in the dark is something that everyone experiences at some stage in their sailing career and with some simple preparations you can make it easier and safer.

Have you ever been asked by a non-sailor: “What do you do out on the ocean at night?” It often comes as a surprise to find that sailing has always been a 24-hour pastime.

Traditionally, passages were made at night and planned so that landfall was at dawn to assist with identifying the lights and confirming the yacht’s position. Then the skipper could enter port safely during daylight.

With GPS we now rather underestimate the usefulness of lights for position fixing and, as more yachts are fitted with AIS, crossing shipping lanes has become less difficult now that you are not solely reliant on identifying each ship’s navigation lights.

Of course, not all vessels have AIS!

How to prepare for long passages

Generally night sailing falls into one of two categories: the first is a one-off night sail, such as the start of a summer cruise to get the boat to your cruising ground, or perhaps a RORC or JOG cross-Channel race. The second is a long passage where there will be a number of days between the start and finish with consecutive night sails.

For me there should be little difference when setting up the boat although there will be a difference in watchkeeping.

Whether cruising or racing, the crew spending consecutive nights at sea requires a more rigid watch system – covering the full 24 hours – than the one-night crew. But the principles of watch-keeping do also apply to single nights at sea.

One of my pet hates used to be the Friday night cross-Channel races. Crews would arrive all enthusiastic after a hard week at work, but by 0200 tiredness had set in and we would see ourselves slowly working our way to the back of the fleet with only one or two awake enough to be competitive.

Most boats are logical in their layout and it is always a pleasure when a new but experienced crew comes on board as they will rarely need telling twice which rope is which.

Yes it is good to label clutches but soon after joining everyone should know by feel and position which rope is which.

Close your eyes and feel – size becomes very apparent and the covers will feel different. Hold the spinnaker halyard in one hand and the topping lift in the other; feel the different sizes and textures.

It is always good to keep the same ropes in the same position so at night in the dark, when the label is obscured anyway, it is easy to pick up the right one.

Humans are not particularly good at seeing at night and it takes a long time to get full night vision.

The eyes are incredible complex and there are three phases in adapting to the dark.

Initially our pupils dilate to allow as much light in as possible; this may take from a few seconds to a minute to happen.

The next phase takes place in the cone cells of the eye. In the absence of light we get chemical changes in the cell and it can take ten minutes for the cone cells to adapt to the dark.

Lastly we have rod cells which are responsible for black and white vision and these contain rhodopsin which is reactivated in the absence of light. This will take several hours to fully adapt to the dark.

Although we are all different, as a rough guide it takes about ten minutes to get most of our night vision, which gets slowly better over the following few hours. This can be put back to zero very quickly by the use of bright lights.

How to use lights on board at night

All crew members should have a flashlight and it’s worth keeping a powerful spotlight on deck for rig checks and emergencies.

When sail trimming try and use as weak a flashlight as possible and also warn the helmsman and lookouts before using it.

We have had great success in painting the lenses of flashlights with red nail varnish: the red light is much kinder on the eyes and nail varnish is more readily available than red flashlights.

Red lights are also crucial below. Some yachts will have split lights with red to be used at night. In the past, I have used stick-on red film from a photographic shop.

Generally we cover half of the lights red when cruising, but for long offshore passages we will cover all the lights with red film to avoid the wrong switch being used.

It would be nice to have two complete circuits to turn off the white lights completely, however ten minutes with a pair of scissors and all lights are covered.

Head torches leave both hands free, but I actually hate them on deck when sailing. If spoken to it is the natural reaction to turn and look at the person speaking, instantly ruining their night vision. Some head torches will have red bulbs but any bulb shining straight into your eye is damaging for your night vision.

Use light sparingly as the less you use, the less you tend to need. With the latest instruments and multifunction displays you can control the brightness of the image: keeping it to a minimum helps night vision and also consumes less power.

I am told that in training, some Mini Transat and Figaro sailors will practice sailing blindfold.

Night sailing tips for cruisers

I have been involved with the ARC for many years and it seems that most crews will routinely drop spinnakers and reduce sail for the night. All very prudent but nights are long in the tropics – approaching 12 hours of darkness.

I am not one for fixed rules, so I would rather see a boat set up for simple sail handling and allow conditions to dictate the sail plan. This also depends on the number of crew on board and the watch-keeping regime.

It makes sense to mark halyards and control ropes. I like to sew in a whipping of a contrasting colour onto the line marking the correct position just out of the clutch. This can be felt as well as seen and is particularly useful when reefing.

I also like to mark halyards at the maximum hoist to avoid anyone getting too enthusiastic and winding the splice or knot into the sheave. This is something racing boats have done for years and for cruisers would be useful for both day and night sailing.

Luminous draft stripes can be added to sails to help with sail shape and small amounts of reflective tape can also be stuck around the boat to help see and identify equipment.

On my boat the wheel is marked with a turk’s head knot to feel the centre point, to which we have also added some reflective tape to make it visible in low light.

If you make sail changing and trimming simple you can usually do it with just the ambient light and a small flashlight. The decklight knocks out any visibility forward. A tricolour light should light up the windex and if conditions are marginal, a steaming light can be used to check spinnaker trim, although any lights forward spoil night vision and, of course, a steaming light indicates to others that you are motoring not sailing.

When planning a voyage, make life easier and safer by maximising your moonlight hours: sailing under a full moon and clear sky is as easy as sailing during the day.

Crew preparation

Sailing is no fun when tired and hungry. There seems to be a tendency on cruising yachts to run short-handed with single-person watches. Of course, single-handed sailors circle the globe in ever faster yachts, but the average cruising yacht is not really very well set up for single-handed sailing.

Hot drinks and snacks at night are essential.

The typical cruising yacht has a number of roles to perform, so the ideal deck layout in terms of sailing efficiency will be compromised by the requirements of the cabin space below.

This tends to encourage slow sailing: if it is hard to single-handedly reduce sail, it makes sense to automatically reef at night so you do not have to call anyone to help.

Two or three hours is long enough to be up on your own and with shorter watch times, there is the opportunity to change sail during a change of watch when there are two people on deck.

When my wife and I are double-handed passagemaking, we stick to three-hour watches, as this is as long as I can keep concentration. But it is tiring. For ocean crossings we tend to have an extra person to help.

Night raids and the importance of the midnight snack

When racing you have to push 24 hours a day to be competitive, although you can be a bit more conservative at night to help preserve the boat and crew.

When I skippered Concert in the BT Global Challenge, we would occasionally do a ‘night raid’. This involved handing out a few extra treats for dinner then, putting the best drivers on the helm, we would really push through the hours of darkness. This usually paid off with a few miles gained.

I would be happy to cross an ocean on freeze-dried food but I think I am in a minority! Food and drink is important for fuel and also for enjoyment.

Food at night is particularly important for energy and well-being. Sealed personal drink flasks stay hot for a couple of hours, the biggest danger being burning your mouth in the first hour. Snacks are also good on night watches: our bodies are used to sleeping at night and a snack helps to keep us going.

One trick that I like is a Cup-a-Soup in a wide-mouthed flask with a few teaspoons of couscous added. Put the lid on and leave it five minutes and you have a tasty and filling savoury snack!

How to be a watchkeeper

Watchkeepers should not take the responsibility lightly. You need an experienced watchkeeper crossing the Channel due to the level of shipping and navigation required on the passage. Further offshore a less experienced watchkeeper has more time to call the skipper.

Why longer passages are easier

Everyone on board has to get enough sleep. It may be possible, physically, to go 24 hours without sleep, but decision-making suffers and it is easy to make mistakes.

I prefer, if possible, to have at least two people on a watch, this avoids having to call extra crew for small sail changes or manoeuvres. It does also mean that when you are off watch, your sleep is not disturbed. With two on watch, three or four-hour watches pass quickly, split between steering, lookout, and navigation.

Racing is a bit different as there is generally a bigger crew. I am not a fan of everyone on the rail all night, and rotating the crew so everyone gets some sleep is important.

For longer races like the Fastnet I would have a rigid watch system so everyone gets some good sleep. If anything goes wrong then it always seems to happen at about 0400 when people are at their lowest ebb.

I would also get into the watch system early, probably before Portland, to get into a rhythm. Our bodies are very complex and need time to adjust; a short passage of two or three nights can be more tiring than a transatlantic.

Personally I find it takes about three days to get settled. I then get one really good deep sleep and I am fine for the rest of the voyage. I tend to find short passages – anything less than three days – more tiring, which is why I prefer a bigger crew for sailing a few hundred miles than I do for sailing longer passages.

7 Top tips for Safety at  night

• Prepare your boat: mark all halyards and brief crew on cockpit layout • Be patient with night vision: it takes three hours to fully adapt and moments to ruin • Red lights: either use red see-through film, red light bulbs or even nail polish • Get into watches early on the voyage: the body needs time to adjust to a new rhythm • Good food is especially important at night when the body is conditioned to be sleeping • Think safety and preparation: don’t run a one-person watch if the boat’s not easy to sail solo • Avoid getting overtired: concentration and decision making is essential at sea

What to Wear to a Yacht Party – Your Dress Code Guide!

Dressing for a boat party is different than any other kind of event. While you have good times, you need to look great and most importantly, feel comfortable in your clothing. Also, you need to take some safety precautions into consideration as boats have unpredictable movements. After all, you want to have an exceptional time! Most yacht events take place in the summer, so you need to dress accordingly to the weather. What will be your event about? A Day party? A night party? In this article, you will find out exactly what to wear to a yacht party.

Table of Contents

Most parties are held during the day. You will probably spend most of your time enjoying dancing on the deck with a cocktail in your hand or swimming in the water, so you need an attire comfortable to wear and easy to pull on/off!

• Choose a swimsuit or a bikini to wear under your clothes. Make sure to pick a color that suits your attire.
• A flowy dress, short skirt, airy beach pants, or a short over your swimsuit will be perfect for this kind of party. You can also match them with a summary layer or a loose blouse.
• As for the shoes, flat sandals with soft soles will get you out of trouble. High heels are an absolute no-no as they are not safe on a boat and can scratch the deck.

Accessories

• You should be wearing sunglasses during the day, but not just any, you need polarized sunglasses to protect 100% your eyes from the UV rays of the sun
• Try to store your stuff like sunglasses, makeup, and hair clips in a waterproof handbag. It could be useful if it gets wet!
• Makeup Use only waterproof makeup during the day
• Opt for a tight swimsuit if you plan to wear it under your cloth. Otherwise, there are stylish good looking swimwears that look more like dress shorts, which you can match with loose shirts and a light jacket
• The most appropriate clothes for men are loose pants, boating shorts , and jean shorts assorted with light shirts, or polo and a loose vest.
• Avoid flip-flops and opt for nonmarking boating shoes , like Sperry. These come in a wide variety of styles to choose from and will match any outfit. With these shoes, you can walk in complete tranquility without worrying about hurting your feet or slipping on the wet deck.
• Opt only for a waterproof watch if you intend to wear one. You don’t want to bother taking it off, and on each time you go for a swim.
• As mentioned for women above, the same concept applies to men. A good pair of polarized sunglasses is a must!

Night Party

In the evening, you can still wear casual clothes but a bit more dressy. The thin, soft, and flowy textile is more appropriate for night parties. Bring a light jacket with you. It gets cooler in the evening.

• Princess waist dresses, skirt with flounces, loose pants assorted with dressy tops are the perfect choices. A chic option will be to wear a color-coordinated wrap or a jacket. A long dress harmonized with a nice pair of chandelier earrings is a great option if you opt to dress chicly
• Here, again, avoid high heels. Flats and low-heeled sandals will be perfect and will suit any outfit.
• Men should wear comfortable pants with a dress shirt or even a polo, and a light jacket on top.
• I will say it again, the best shoes to wear on a boat is Sperry, but hey, this is your party, you can pick any other type of boat shoes as long as they are non-marking.
• Girls, even if high heels elongate your legs and make you more attractive. It is preferable to avoid wearing them on a boat. Opt for boating shoes !
• Mosquitoes love humidity, especially in the late afternoon. You should bring a repellent with you. You Never know.
• Try to use only waterproof accessories
• The sun beat down during the day, bring sunscreen and wear long sleeves to protect you from the sun
• You can wear long dresses but not too long to avoid tripping.
• If you are unsure about the type of party, ask the person that organizes the event on the yacht what is and not appropriate.
• It’s easy to get dehydrated on a yacht because you don’t feel the sun as you are most of the time in the water or on the deck and at sea, there are always winds. PS, wear a hat and drink a lot of water!

Final Words!

Now that you know how to dress for a day and night party on a yacht, all you need to do is have a good time!

8 thoughts on “What to Wear to a Yacht Party – Your Dress Code Guide!”

I have a yacht party to go to and I really needed this guide to make sure that I will take whatever I need. It is really easy to forget a few things and later regret once you reach the party. However, in the evening yacht parties, is it okay to wear heels?

Oh, that’s great, I am sure you’ll have fun!

Yes, I agree with you, it is easy to forget things. This is why it is important to write down what you need before you go:) Once you are on the boat, you cannot go back unless you live nearby.

You cannot wear high heels on a boat, there are few reasons to this. It is not comfortable, not safety and it can damage the deck:) You wouldn’t want this happen.

Thank you for the comment and wish you to have unforgettable moments on the yacht party!

Have a wonderful day!

Hi Daniella, I really like that you divided your article into parts like what to wear in the day or in night! And that you pay attention to both men and women is great, too! often, there are only guides for women. Keep going on as active as you are! Your website is catchy!

Thank you for the kind comment, I really appreciate:) Whats women without men and whats men without women? We can’t live without each other:), Have a wonderful day!

I have been on a yacht for a dinner party sailing in heels! It was a bit troublesome especially going up and down stairs.

Is this post geared toward Northeast US or somewhere else in the world? Here in Florida, it is absolutely okay to wear flip flops to a day yacht party as long as they aren’t cheap! Sperry’s or other boat shoes are acceptable at night for men if the rest of the outfit is semi-casual.

Thank you for the comment:)

Yes, this article concerns everyone. No matter the country. Of course, you can wear flip flops , you can even go barefoot if you wish to, but the risk of hurting your feet or slipping on the deck is much higher. Most charter companies require wearing boat shoes because if something happens and someone didn’t follow the guideline, then the company or the owner of the boat will not be covered by their assurance.

However, Sperry’ shoes are the most recommended on boats as they are comfortable and stylish.

But, again, as long as it is non-marking shoes, you are good to go!

I like how you said that the most appropriate clothes for men are loose pants. My wife and I are planning to go on a trip and we have no idea what to wear. I will definitely share this article with my wife to give her ideas of what to wear in case we go to a boat party.

Hi Dereck, This would be a great idea! I am sure your wife will find something nice to wear:) Thank you for the comment and wish you a lovely day!

Best #1 Guide for What to Wear to a Yacht Party at Night

Prepare to set sail in style with our humorous yet insightful guide on what to wear to a yacht party at night. From chic cocktail dresses to stylish boat shoes, we’ve got you covered for your upcoming nighttime yacht extravaganza. Jump aboard, and let’s navigate through the sea of fashion together!

Table of Contents

Welcome aboard, fellow yacht enthusiast.

Ahoy, mateys! Is this your first time boarding the luxurious deck of a yacht party? First off, congratulations on scoring the invite. Whether you’ve snagged an invite to a boat charter shindig or have managed to wrangle an invitation to a swanky yacht club event, one thing’s for sure: you’re in for an evening of glamour, style, and breathtaking views. And I’m not just talking about the scenery if you know what I mean.

A Night on the High Seas: The Thrill of Yacht Parties

There’s something undeniably alluring about yacht parties, isn’t there? You’ve got the soft, lapping sounds of the water, the twinkling lights reflecting off the undulating waves, and the prospect of enjoying a fancy dinner while cruising around a prosperous city’s skyline. It’s like stepping into a luxury lifestyle reality TV show episode, minus the unnecessary drama and relentless backbiting. Or at least, let’s hope so!

You see, yacht parties are a special breed of parties. They’re not quite your regular boat parties, where the dress code involves anything that can withstand a spontaneous cannonball into the pool. They’re not your average cocktail parties either, where you might spend half the night trying to balance on one foot as your high heels sink into the grass.

No, yacht parties are a unique blend of opulence and relaxation. One moment you’re sipping on a perfectly chilled glass of bubbly, the next you’re admiring the view, sunglasses perched stylishly on your head, lips moistened with your favorite lip balm, and the sea breeze playfully tousling your hair. Oh, and did I mention the delicious prospect of a dance party under the starry skies? It’s all about the mingling, the laughter, the luxury, and did we forget the glamour? Yes, yes we did.

Your Ticket to an Enthralling Yacht Trip

Consider this your first step towards mastering the art of yacht party attendance. The yacht trip may be the stuff of dreams, but let’s get one thing clear right away: It’s not all about leaning on the deck rail in a glamorous pose (though there’ll be plenty of opportunities for that, don’t worry).

It’s about a carefully orchestrated balance of style, comfort, and yes, appropriate footwear (because no one wants to be that person who slipped and face-planted in front of the DJ booth). So, whether you’re setting sail for a nighttime extravaganza on a luxury yacht or looking forward to a relaxed boat trip with friends, there’s a sartorial sweet spot to hit, and that’s exactly what we’ll help you find.

By the time we’re done here, you’ll be walking up that gangplank with your head held high and an outfit that screams, “Yes, I’m yacht-party-ready and fabulous!”. So, buckle up (or should I say, secure your life vests), let’s dive into the exciting world of yacht party outfits.

Navigating The Sea Of Dress Codes

Life on the high seas can be turbulent, and yacht parties, as fabulous as they may be, are no exception. Just like the ever-changing ocean currents, there is an intriguing ebb and flow to yacht party dress codes. One yacht charter might insist on a strict dress code that looks like it came straight out of a vintage nautical-themed movie, while another might just require you to be decently clothed and not wear anything that could be mistaken for a lifebuoy.

The key to decoding these sartorially challenging waters lies in understanding the type of party. A casual boat ride? Think light, airy, and sea-spray resistant. A luxury yacht cocktail party? Time to unleash your inner James Bond or Audrey Hepburn. But remember, even the best outfits must pass the ‘can I move without toppling overboard?’ test.

Weather Or Not, Here You Dress!

Let’s talk about the elephant on the yacht – the weather conditions. Just like the swaying boat might affect your balance, weather conditions could potentially affect your fashion choices. Now, I know we’d all like to believe we’re attending yacht parties in the perfect summer season, but let’s face it, not all of us are that lucky.

If you’re sailing under the scorching sun, light colors, breathable fabrics, and a wide-brimmed hat are your best bet. Oh, and did I mention sunscreen? Yes, even the chicest of us can turn into a lobster under that unforgiving sun, and let’s be real, ‘crispy’ is a good choice for bacon, not your skin.

But let’s not forget our friends in the winter season who still manage to keep the party boat sailing. Here, a light jacket won’t just be a good idea, it’ll be your best friend. Throw in a pair of long-sleeved shirts and dress slacks, and you’ll be both stylish and frostbite-free. And hey, it’s the perfect excuse to rock those knee-high boots you’ve been dying to show off.

Wind In Your Hair, Style In Your Wear

Picture this: You’re on a yacht trip, your hair is doing that fabulous slow-motion windblow thing, you take a sip from your cocktail, and suddenly… you realize your flowy dress is not as immune to the sea breeze as you thought. Yep, it’s Marilyn Monroe moment time! So, remember, while that crop top and wrap skirt may seem like a good idea at first, you might want to consider the potential for wardrobe malfunctions. Opt for an outfit that will let you enjoy the breeze without turning you into a spontaneous flag.

On the flip side, boat shoes might seem like a comical idea, but let me tell you, they are the unsung heroes of yacht parties. They’re classy, comfortable, and most importantly, have a grip that even the sea-slicked deck can’t challenge. So, while high heels might seem tempting for the ladies, remember: a sprained ankle is hardly the souvenir you want from your fabulous yacht party.

And that, my friend, is your primer on the factors that will shape your ultimate yacht party outfit. Now, let’s dive into the fun part: decoding the best outfits for your yacht soirée! Stay tuned for a breakdown of looks that will have you feeling as glamorous as the luxury yacht you’re stepping onto.

Setting Sail with Style: The Ladies’ Edition

Alright ladies, it’s time to discuss our battle plan. This is a yacht party, not a trip to the grocery store, so let’s aim for the sweet spot between “I’m here for the caviar” and “Did someone say cannonball?”

The Cocktail Dress Conundrum

For a chic look, a cocktail dress is a great option, and most often the most popular choice for a nighttime yacht party. Whether you opt for a short dress that shows off your legs or a midi dress that sways with the sea breeze, remember to choose breathable fabrics. However, don’t go too flowy, lest you want an unexpected Marilyn Monroe moment. And while the little black dress is an evergreen option, don’t be afraid to experiment with bright colors and solid colors. But, ladies, avoid the urge to wear your floor-length Oscar gown. Remember, it’s a yacht, not the red carpet.

The Casual, Yet Classy Alternative

If you prefer a more casual look, pairing a bikini top with denim shorts or a shirt dress can give off those effortless “I woke up like this” vibes. Throw in a stylish one-piece swimsuit underneath for that impromptu midnight dip. And before you ask, yes, crop tops are an excellent choice for a relaxed boat party outfit. Just make sure to wear it with something high-waisted, unless you want to moonlight as a belly dancer.

A Word (or Two) about Footwear

Let’s talk about the elephant in the yacht – high heels. They’re cute, they make your legs look amazing, but are they a good idea on a boat? The answer is: it depends. If the yacht is the size of a small country and the crew members double as bodyguards, go for it. But if you’re on a smaller vessel, strappy sandals or flat shoes might be the safer choice. Remember, fashion first, safety… also first.

Accessorizing for the High Seas

How much jewelry is too much? Well, unless you’re trying to double as a chandelier for the evening event, less is more. A statement necklace or dangling earrings can add a touch of glam without going overboard (pun intended). And don’t forget your pair of sunglasses, even at night. They’re not just for shielding your eyes; they’re a style statement. But beware, the sea breeze has a naughty habit of sending hats overboard. So, if you’re planning on wearing a wide-brimmed hat, make sure it fits well or is secured with a stylish scarf or hatpin.

Cruise Control: The Men’s Guide

Gentlemen, you’re up next! Your sartorial choices might seem easier, but remember, you’re on a yacht, not a pirate ship. Your goal should be to strike a balance between looking like a sea-faring fashionista and not like you’re auditioning for the role of the Skipper on Gilligan’s Island.

The Nitty-Gritty of Formal Wear

If the event is more on the formal side, like a boat wedding or a fancy dinner, a full suit or sports coat can never go wrong. Stick to lighter colors to avoid overheating. Polo shirts or Oxford shirts with dress pants or dress slacks are a safe bet. Pair it with boat shoes or loafers for a polished look. And remember, if you’re wearing a white shirt, beware of the red wine!

The Laid-Back Look

For a more casual vibe, a linen shirt with denim shorts or chinos is the perfect outfit. Boat shoes are again your best bet for a comfortable, stylish choice. And gentlemen, here’s a tip: bring a light jacket or matching jacket. Not only can it combat the cool sea breeze, but it can also be a chivalrous offering to a lady who underestimated the chill.

Deciphering the Details

Sunglasses are not only for the ladies; they’re a must-have accessory for gentlemen too. As for hats, unless you’re going for the sea captain look, it’s best to leave them at home. And gentlemen, don’t forget your lip balm. Saltwater and wind can do a number on those lips, and cracked lips are hardly the accessory you want to sport.

Now, that we’ve covered the basics, remember this: the key to a successful yacht party outfit is to embrace the setting, consider the event, and most importantly, wear something that makes you feel like a million bucks. After all, you’re on a yacht, darling, and that’s reason enough to celebrate!

Preparing for the Unexpected: The Wild Cards

Alright, we’ve covered the basics, but yacht parties are anything but basic. So let’s talk about those wildcard scenarios that no one tells you about. For instance, what if the yacht charter throws a staff party with a nautical theme? Or, what if you’re attending a boat cruise dinner party that’s a black-tie affair? You may find yourself asking, “Are denim shorts really the best way to win the best-dressed award?”

Navigating Nautical Nightmares

First up, the nautical-themed yacht party. These events can sometimes come with a specific dress code that would make a sailor blush. Think stripes, light colors, and yes, boat shoes are an absolute must here. Polo shirts for the gentlemen and shirt dresses for the ladies are great options, along with a pair of sunglasses to complete that “I just docked my yacht” look.

And remember, when it comes to nautical fashion, don’t fight the tide, ride it!

Black Tie on The Blue Sea

Now, let’s talk black-tie affairs. This is where formal wear takes center stage. Gentlemen, it’s time to break out the full suit or tuxedo, and ladies, this is your chance to shine in a cocktail outfit or an elegant evening gown. This isn’t the time for your bikini top or denim shorts, no matter how expensive they were. Don’t forget, you’re on a luxury yacht, not a surfboard.

One key tip here, make sure you know the difference between black-tie and black-tie optional. If you show up to a black-tie optional event in a full tux while the rest of the guests are rocking the smart-casual look, you’re going to feel like James Bond at a beach party. And that’s not as cool as it sounds.

The Casual Cocktail Conundrum

So, what if the invite says ‘casual cocktail wear’? Now, this is where it gets tricky. You want to look casual, but not “I just came from the gym” casual. Ladies, a knee-length summer dress or chic cocktail dress should do the trick. And gents, a sports coat over a polo shirt, paired with some dress pants, will have you looking dashing without feeling overdressed. Remember, ‘casual’ in yacht language usually means ‘casual chic’, not ‘casual sloppy’.

On the Home Stretch: Some Parting Words

There you have it, folks! A complete guide to standing out, while fitting in, at your next yacht party. So whether you’re headed for a daytime event, a fancy evening event, or even a boat wedding, remember these simple rules.

Always consider the type of party, keep in mind the weather conditions, dress appropriately for the specific dress code, and take necessary safety precautions. And don’t forget to have a great time. After all, it’s not every day you get to party on a yacht!

Remember, at the end of the day, it’s all about having fun and feeling fabulous. So, get out there, seize the day (or night), and show that yacht party what you’re made of! You’ll be the talk of the boat charter and the envy of the crew members in no time. Enjoy your yacht party, you fancy sea-farer, you!

Navigating Night Parties: The Dark Side of Dressing

When the sun sets and the yacht’s deck becomes a dance floor, there are a few additional sartorial points to consider. Nighttime yacht parties aren’t just about being comfortable; they’re about shining brighter than the stars overhead.

Understanding The Dark Color Dynamics

Ladies and gentlemen, dark colors are your best friends at night. But beware, the dark side is not all black and white, or should I say, black and navy. When picking your evening wear, think jewel tones and earthy hues. Gentlemen, a solid navy sports coat paired with an oxford shirt can do wonders. Ladies, try a rich burgundy cocktail dress or an emerald green jumpsuit.

However, make sure your evening wear doesn’t double as camouflage with the night sky. If you fall overboard, you want to be spotted quickly, not mistaken for a playful dolphin!

Lights and Brights: Accessorize with Shine

As for accessories, this is your time to shine. Literally. Pick jewelry that sparkles and catches the light. A statement cocktail ring or chandelier earrings can be just the ticket. Gentlemen, a nice watch can be both practical and stylish. Just ensure it’s waterproof, because, you know, you’re on a boat.

Oh, and ladies, high heels can be a good choice at night when visibility is low, and tripping hazards become the evening’s surprise guest. But remember the golden rule: if you can’t walk in them on solid ground, you’ll look like a newborn giraffe on a moving yacht.

Taking A Walk on The Wild Side

If you’re feeling adventurous, why not try something different for your nighttime yacht party outfit? Ladies, a stunning silk jumpsuit paired with strappy sandals can offer a chic look that breaks the cocktail dress monotony. And gents, consider a dinner jacket with some character – perhaps something in a pattern or with a bright pocket square.

It’s Party Time: Final Touches

As we come to the end of our fashion voyage, it’s time for some general tips for any yacht party, day or night, summer or winter.

Remember, the first thing is to always be comfortable. It’s hard to have a great time when you’re constantly adjusting your outfit or nursing a blister from those brand-new boat shoes. Choose comfortable clothing that makes you feel confident and enjoy the party.

And remember, you are attending a yacht party at a prosperous city’s yacht clubs, not a pirate gathering or a sailor meetup. While the nautical theme might be fun for a staff party, at a more elegant event, keep your sea shanties and pirate impressions at bay.

Most importantly, have fun! Whether it’s your first time or you’re a seasoned yacht party attendee, every boat trip is a special occasion. So, put on your perfect outfit, and prepare for a night (or day) to remember.

Now, go forth and be the life of the boat party! I can’t wait to hear all about your fabulous yacht party outfit and the great time you had. Just don’t forget to invite me next time, okay? Happy sailing, my stylish friends!

Weathering the Party: Dressing for the Elements

Sailing into this section, it’s time to confront the elephant in the room – or rather, the weather on the yacht. Trust me, nothing puts a dampener on a party faster than being under (or over) dressed for the weather conditions. So let’s talk climate, comfort, and chic ensembles!

Sizzling Summers: Keeping it Cool

Summertime yacht parties are a paradise of warm breezes and cool cocktails. Ladies, think flowy dresses, chic crop tops, and your best pair of sunglasses. And don’t forget a wide-brimmed hat, both for style and to shield you from the summer sun. Now, if the hat goes flying off into the sunset, don’t fret – at least it made a grand exit.

Gentlemen, linen shirts are your best bet in the summer season. Pair them with some stylish shorts, slap on a healthy layer of sunscreen, and you’re good to go. And let’s not forget about boat shoes. They’re not just a trendy name, they’re built for grip and comfort on deck.

Wintry Waters: Style that Warms

Now, what if your yacht party is in the winter season? Fear not, because style doesn’t hibernate. Ladies, a midi dress paired with a stylish jacket can keep you warm and elegant. Adding a stylish wrap skirt can also add an extra layer against the cold.

For the gentlemen, long-sleeved shirts and dress slacks are great options. Add a light jacket or sports coat to combat the chilly sea breeze. And remember, winter weather is no excuse to forgo the boat shoes. Frostbite toes are hardly the evening’s desired icebreaker.

Nailing the Nighttime: Starlit Style

Regardless of the season, when it comes to nighttime yacht parties, remember: the temperature can drop faster than your dance moves. Ladies, that chic cocktail dress might need a matching jacket. Gentlemen, your stylish polo shirt might appreciate the company of a light jacket.

Embracing The Elements: The Last Word

In the end, keep in mind that while yacht parties are about looking your best, they’re also about feeling your best. The right outfit is about more than just the perfect picture, it’s about creating the perfect memory.

So check the weather forecast, consider your comfort, and dress appropriately. You’re not trying to win a fashion war against the elements, you’re trying to have a fantastic time at a yacht party. And let’s be honest, shivering in a corner or melting under the sun isn’t anyone’s idea of fun.

Now, you’re armed with all the knowledge you need to brave the weather, beat the dress code, and bestow your fashionable presence on that yacht party. Whether you’re cruising into a summer sunset or dancing under the winter stars, you’ll be prepared for any yacht party – come rain or shine.

Bon voyage, my fashionable friends. May your outfits be chic, your weather be mild, and your parties be memorable. I’ll be expecting an invitation to your next boat soiree! Remember, the best outfit is the one worn by a happy party-goer. Sail on!

A Floating Fête: Navigating Different Yacht Events

As we float further into this sea of fashion wisdom, it’s time to address another important aspect of yacht party outfit selection: the type of event. Whether it’s a relaxed day cruise, an elegant cocktail party, or a crazy dance party, the dress code can vary as much as the waves beneath your feet.

Chill Cruise: Comfort is Key

Daytime events such as a relaxed boat trip or boat ride often call for a casual look. Ladies, this is a great opportunity to sport those denim shorts or a light shirt dress. Pair them with flat shoes or sandals for comfort and mobility. No one wants to perform an accidental backflip while navigating the deck in high heels!

Gentlemen, a polo shirt, a pair of shorts and of course, the indispensable boat shoes make for a great boat party outfit. Just remember, when the sun is shining, a pair of sunglasses and lip balm can be your best friends. It’s all fun and games until you’re mistaken for a lobster.

Cocktail Conclave: Dress to Impress

When it comes to cocktail parties on a luxury yacht, your outfit needs to make a splash. Ladies, this is the perfect occasion for cocktail dresses or even a little black dress. Pair them with high heels or strappy sandals, and you’re ready to dazzle the crowd.

For the gents, it’s time to step up your game. Dress slacks, a solid color oxford shirt, and a sports coat will fit the bill. Boat shoes are still a good choice, offering a nautical touch to your cocktail attire.

Dance Dock: Let Loose and Move

Now, if it’s a dance party on a party boat, things are about to get wild. Ladies, feel free to explore options beyond the cocktail dress. A crop top paired with a wrap skirt can make for a comfortable and chic look, perfect for a night of dancing.

Gents, a linen shirt with denim shorts could be your best bet here. It’s comfortable, stylish and most importantly, dance-friendly. Just remember, while your dance moves might be fire, your feet don’t need to be. Stick to those comfy boat shoes.

All Aboard: Final Call

In conclusion, dressing for a yacht party is not about following rigid rules, it’s about understanding the vibe of the event and feeling great in what you wear. Whether you’re partying on a yacht cruise in the heat of summer, enjoying a boat charter in the crisp winter season, or stepping aboard a yacht for the first time, remember that the best outfits are ones that make you feel fabulous.

So take a moment, consider the event, check the mirror, and then forget all about it and enjoy the party! Whether it’s a fancy dinner on a boat, a staff party, or a cocktail evening, you’re going to have a great time.

Dress up, step up, and ship out, my nautical fashionistas! May your yacht parties be unforgettable, your boat trips spectacular, and your outfits always on point. Until the next time we set sail in the sea of style!

Party Don’ts: What to Avoid at Yacht Parties

Alright, shipmates, we’ve sailed through all the dos of yacht party fashion, now let’s drop anchor for a moment to discuss the don’ts. Because let’s face it, even the most stylish sea-dogs can make mistakes when partying at sea.

Overboard Overkill: Too Much is Too Much

The first rule of yacht party fashion: don’t overdo it. Yes, you want to look fabulous, but remember, you’re not trying to outshine the yacht itself. Wearing too much jewelry can make you look like a walking chandelier or, worse, a pirate’s treasure chest. It’s also not a good idea to wear extremely formal wear like a full suit or an evening gown unless the event calls for it.

This also applies to makeup. Ladies, a boat party is not the right place for full-on, smoky-eye Hollywood glamour. Not only can it be a bit much, but you also run the risk of looking like a raccoon after a passionate encounter with the sea breeze.

Impractical Choices: It’s Not Just About Looking Good

When deciding on your boat party outfit, remember to consider practicality. An extravagant feathered hat may look fabulous on land, but at sea, it may quickly become a seagull’s new target.

Ladies, high heels can be a stunning addition to your outfit, but only if you can walk comfortably in them. Nobody wants to perform an impromptu ballet recital on the deck. If you’re in doubt, opt for flat shoes or wedges. And remember, the only stilettos allowed onboard should be served in a martini glass.

Ignoring The Dress Code: Don’t Be That Person

Lastly, always consider the dress code. If the yacht party has a specific dress code, it’s not just a suggestion, it’s your ticket to board. Don’t be the person who shows up to a black-tie event in flip flops and a bikini top. Not only is it a fashion faux pas, but you might also be mistaken for a castaway.

Smooth Sailing: The Final Wave

So there you have it, the complete guide to what to wear to a yacht party at night – and the daytime too. Remember, the key to nailing your yacht party outfit is balancing style, comfort, and appropriateness to the event. From casual daytime cruises to glamorous nighttime soirees, these tips will ensure you’re always dressed to impress, without going overboard.

Whether you’re setting sail for a relaxed boat ride or an extravagant yacht charter, remember to dress with confidence, comfort, and a touch of nautical chic. After all, you’re not just attending a party, you’re making waves.

So, cast off those fashion doubts, hoist the sail of confidence, and steer your style towards an unforgettable yacht party. And remember, the real secret to being the life of the party is not just what you wear, but how you wear it. So wear it with a smile, a laugh, and a dance move or two. Until our next fashion voyage, sailors!

Special Maritime Moments: Dressing for Themed & Occasion-Specific Parties

As we voyage further into the yacht party outfit sea, let’s delve into a slightly more niche territory: themed parties and special occasions. A prosperous city yacht club might throw a nautical-themed gala, or your mate Dave might invite you to a boat wedding. These events need a dash of creativity to meet their unique dress codes, and, trust me, these could make for some of the best outfits you’ll ever wear.

Themed Thrills: Embracing the Unusual

Themed parties are the time to step out of your comfort zone and into some fun. Nautical theme? Break out the sailor stripes and opt for bright colors to give your outfit a pop. 80’s retro dance party? Time to dig out those neon colors and wild prints.

But remember, though it may be tempting to go all out, do make sure you are still comfortable. Dressing like Captain Jack Sparrow might win you points for dedication, but that heavy pirate coat might not be the best choice for a dance party.

Saying ‘I Do’ on the Deck: Boat Weddings

Attending a boat wedding? This is where you might want to push the boat out – pun intended. Women, a knee-length summer dress in light colors can be a good choice. It’s formal, yet appropriate for the setting. Pair it with some stylish flat shoes or wedges, and you’re wedding-ready.

Men, it might be time to bring out the dress pants and a crisp white shirt. Depending on the formality of the event, a matching jacket or sports coat might be required. But remember, this is a yacht, not a stuffy old banquet hall. Opt for light, breathable fabrics to stay comfortable.

Celebrate in Style: Special Celebrations

For birthday bashes or anniversary parties, comfort and style go hand in hand. Ladies, consider a chic midi dress in solid colors or a short dress paired with a light jacket for an evening event. Men, you can’t go wrong with a linen shirt and dress slacks for that chic look.

Seal the Deal: Wrapping up the Fashion Voyage

Ultimately, themed parties and special occasions allow you to get creative with your yacht party outfit. The most important rule to remember is that the best way to ensure you have a great time is to feel good in what you’re wearing. Dressing for the theme or occasion is part of the fun, but comfort should always be a priority.

So, there you have it, shipmates! You’re now ready to take on any type of yacht party – from the strictest dress code to the wildest theme. Just remember, the best accessory to any outfit is a sense of humor and a readiness to have fun.

Until next time, I bid you fair winds and a great time at your yacht parties. Whether you’re docked in a prosperous city, dancing on a party boat, or just enjoying a boat cruise, remember: in the grand scheme of things, it’s not just about the clothes you wear but the memories you make while wearing them. Sail on!

Survival Kit: Essential Items to Pack for Yacht Parties

Alright, stylish sea dogs, we’ve covered what to wear to a yacht party, but what about those vital items you need to bring along? You know, the unsung heroes of the yacht party, the items that could save your night from going overboard.

Safety First: Important Precautions

First things first: safety precautions. Now, I don’t mean life jackets and flares – although, it’s good to know where those are. No, we’re talking about items like a wide-brimmed hat and a good pair of sunglasses. These can protect you from the harsh sun during daytime events. And of course, never forget the lip balm. Cracked lips might give you that rugged sailor look, but they’re not much fun when trying to enjoy your fancy dinner.

Comfort is Queen (and King): Must-Haves for Feeling Good

Comfortable clothing is a must on any boat trip, but there are a few additional things to consider. Ladies, if you’re wearing high heels, it’s a good idea to pack a pair of flat shoes too. After a few hours of dancing or walking on deck, you’ll be glad you did. Men, remember to bring an extra polo shirt or a light jacket. You never know when the sea breeze might kick in, and you don’t want to be shivering in your shorts.

Ready for Anything: Extra Essentials

But the true yacht party survival kit extends beyond clothing. Remember to bring along your go-to items to keep you looking fresh all night. This might include travel-sized toiletries, makeup for touch-ups, and, most importantly, a portable phone charger. After all, you’ll need enough battery to capture the memorable moments of your yacht trip, and you don’t want to be the one hunting for a power outlet on a luxury yacht.

Batten Down the Hatches: Final Words

There you have it, my fellow yacht-goers – the ultimate guide on what to wear to a yacht party at night (and day), and what to bring along. Keep in mind these outfit ideas, remember to check the weather conditions, dress according to the occasion, and most importantly, pack your survival kit.

But remember, while dressing right can set the tone for a great night, it’s your attitude that will make or break your experience. So, sport your yacht party outfit with confidence, rock that boat party with style, and savor the moment.

So, whether you’re partying on a yacht charter, cruising on a boat trip, or celebrating a special occasion on a yacht club, be prepared, be comfortable, be stylish, but most importantly, be ready to have a fabulous time.

Now go forth, my stylish sailors, and make some waves. I’ll see you at the next yacht party – just look for the person dancing in boat shoes, wearing a wide-brimmed hat, and reapplying lip balm. Bon voyage!

Onboard Etiquette: How to Make Waves (the Good Kind) at Yacht Parties

So, you’re all dressed up in your yacht party outfit, you’ve packed your survival kit, and you’re ready to rock the boat (metaphorically, please). But wait! How should you behave once you’re onboard? Well, my dear yacht-goers, let’s wrap up this fashion voyage with a quick guide to yacht party etiquette.

Crew Courtesy: Show Some Respect

Let’s start with the first thing you should remember: the crew members aren’t your personal waitstaff. Yes, they’re there to make sure you have a great time, but that doesn’t mean you can treat them like your minions. Be polite, respectful, and remember to thank them. They’re the ones making your luxury yacht experience possible, after all.

Don’t Rock the Boat: Keeping Balance

Next up, keep in mind that you’re on a boat, and boats can, well, rock. Try not to be the person who’s stumbling around like they’ve just sailed around the world single-handedly. Whether you’re wearing high heels or boat shoes, remember: walking on a boat requires a bit more finesse than on dry land.

Breezy Boundaries: Personal Space and Privacy

Just because you’re all on a boat together doesn’t mean personal boundaries have disappeared. Respect other guests’ space, don’t barge into cabins uninvited, and keep the noise down if you’re the last one dancing at the nighttime yacht party.

Chic Celebrations: Dressing for the Occasion

While we’ve covered this in detail, it’s worth repeating: always dress for the occasion. If it’s a formal cocktail party, then cocktail attire is a must. If it’s a casual boat ride, then denim shorts and a crop top might be a good choice.

All Ashore: Final Departure

So there you have it, shipmates, the end of our fashion voyage. We’ve covered what to wear to a yacht party at night and in the day, how to prepare for themed parties and special occasions, what to pack in your survival kit, and now, how to behave on board.

Whether you’re attending a yacht charter, a staff party, a boat wedding, or just a simple boat cruise, remember: it’s all about balance. Balancing style and comfort, fun and responsibility, making an impression and respecting others.

Remember, the best outfits are worn by those who know how to have a good time without going overboard (in both senses of the word). So get out there, make some waves, and have an unforgettable time. And who knows? Maybe I’ll see you at the next yacht party, cocktail in hand, wearing the perfect outfit, and of course, rocking a wide-brimmed hat. Until then, smooth sailing!

Dress Code Decoded: Yacht Party Styles Around the World

Just as the horizon changes from port to port, so do yacht party styles around the globe. In our final section, we’ll anchor in a few glamorous locations and see how the dress code changes from one prosperous city to another. Let’s set sail!

European Elegance: Mediterranean Magic

Imagine this: you’re at a yacht party, the sun is setting over the Mediterranean Sea, and you’ve just been handed a glass of champagne. What are you wearing?

In European yacht clubs, think chic and elegant. Women, consider a flowy dress in light colors for that ‘dancing on deck at sunset’ vibe. Men, opt for linen shirts and dress slacks, or perhaps an oxford shirt if the occasion is more formal.

Caribbean Casual: Laid-Back Luxury

Now let’s head to the Caribbean, where the vibe is a little more relaxed. Here, boat parties are all about comfort and style. Ladies, a bikini top paired with a wrap skirt or denim shorts can work perfectly. Gents, polo shirts and board shorts are a good choice. Don’t forget your wide-brimmed hat and lip balm to combat the tropical sun!

American Affluence: Hamptons High Life

Sailing over to the Hamptons, the dress code becomes slightly more posh. Here, boat shoes are a must, and you can’t go wrong with a summer season color palette. For women, consider pairing a shirt dress with strappy sandals for a daytime event or a little black dress for an evening affair. Men, long-sleeved shirts with dress pants or chinos are the way to go.

Final Port of Call: Making it Your Own

Despite the different dress codes, one rule remains the same across all yacht parties: be comfortable, and be yourself. Whether you’re on a luxury yacht in Monaco or a boat charter in Miami, remember that the best way to enjoy any party is to feel good in what you’re wearing.

We’ve now circumnavigated the globe, discussing what to wear to a yacht party at night and day, from the tropics to the Mediterranean. We’ve had a lot of fun – and I hope you have too!

So as you disembark from this fashion journey, remember, whether you’re the first-time sailor or the seasoned sea dog, whether you’re gearing up for a boat trip or a staff party, wearing the right outfit can elevate your experience from ‘just another boat party’ to ‘an unforgettable night at sea’.

Now, fellow yacht-goers, it’s time for you to make your own waves. As you step onto that deck, remember, you’re not just attending a yacht party – you’re making a statement. So dress well, have fun, and let the sea breeze guide you. Happy sailing !

And amidst this whirlwind of adventure, I find time to scribble it all down in a blog, because what’s a near-death experience with a dolphin if you can’t brag about it online, right? So here’s to cheap travels, history lessons in every port, and unforgettable under-the-sea encounters. May my suitcase always be packed and my oxygen tank never be empty!

Worried about ‘things that go bump in the night’? Tom Cunliffe says night sailing is easier than you think – and an amazing experience

Tom Cunliffe is a Yachtmaster examiner. He has sailed tens of thousands of miles around the world, thousands of them at night

My neighbour Jack is a very competent yachtsman. He sails the boat better than most and his understanding of what goes on in the wires and pistons departments outstrips my own. He makes passages with his motivated wife and two young daughters. They’re all well on-side, yet they can’t bring themselves to expand the range of their two-week summer cruise beyond the reach of daylight. An ‘overnighter’ in Jack’s Hallberg-Rassy would give them an extra hundred miles easily. What’s more, with everyone involved, the family would feel terrific about their achievement.

At close range you’re more visable with running lights. A tricolor can be difficult to spot.

If your experience is similar, you’re in good company. Respect for darkness is primitive. The hairy mammoth herds outside our caves have thinned out a bit these days, but there are still holes in blacked-out roads and muggers working the back streets at closing time. Most of us have long grown out of the child’s fear of the dark, yet a bit of it still remains deep down. Accepting this and tackling it head-on is a start. The rest is a matter of coming to terms with the idea of driving down an unlit motorway with no headlights and dealing with not turning in at bed-time and getting up for breakfast.

On a single night, the sleep issue isn’t a big one, and when did you last run into something out at sea in daylight? Never, probably. The oceans don’t suddenly become littered with debris after dark, and navigation built around GPS is largely the same as it was before sunset. On a calm night, the sheer magic can take some beating. Stars like you never saw before, the watch coming up at midnight with a mug of tea and the occasional ship passing on the horizon, manned by whom, and bound for where? Dawn, a landfall, excited kids popping up from their safe little bunks, and the smell of bacon on the breeze. You can’t beat it!

A night passage can create some of your most magical sailing memories

One night passage Last mid-summer, my wife and I had crossed Lyme Bay bound west, hoping to anchor in the Isles of Scilly in time for lunch the following day. We’d passed Salcombe in the afternoon but we weren’t going to make the Lizard in time for the evening tide. I didn’t fancy the headland on a foul stream in darkness, so we shortened down so as to arrive with the west-going early in the morning. When I turned in, we were logging 3 knots as the sun set over Cornwall.

With so little canvas, stress levels were low and I lay in my bunk peacefully dreaming of luggers drifting for pilchards and girls looking seaward on the beach at Cadgwith. At one o’clock, I came up to find the boat tiptoeing through a sea of phosphorescence. Above me, the moonless night was alive with slowly wheeling stars so dense they seemed to recede into infinity. On the southern horizon, Scorpio took a rare bow while, ahead of me, the Lizard light swept the sky. Then came the unmistakable snort of a close-up dolphin. A small pod was playing around the boat like silver ghosts, darting under the keel then cutting the surface for air. They stayed until dawn had rubbed out the stars and the low headland of the Lizard had firmed up on the bow. I called Ros at 0430 and together we swept into Mount’s Bay on the first of the big ebb that would carry us to Tresco.

Avoid hazards with sensible seamanship Fishing pots Unpredictable and unlit, these are the biggest danger at night. Avoiding them is largely a matter of common sense. Sometimes they are laid in deep water, but mostly they lurk in less than 50 metres. Avoid shallows if you can, especially near fishing harbours, and inside passages around headlands, even if you are confident of your position thanks to radar and plotter. Even if you know where you are, there’s still the same risk of the engine stopping with a crunch, or finding yourself moored by the rudder in a strong tide.

Harbour entrances RYA courses tend to encourage night entries. My feeling is that to enter a strange harbour at night, unless pressed by imminent heavy weather or some other extraneous force, is generally a thoroughly bad idea. I remember as a young skipper sailing into Bilbao, never having seen the place in daylight and confident that my charts were up to date. I didn’t know that someone had placed a large, unlit obstruction just inside the breakwater between the lighthouse and my most likely set of pontoons. I survived, but it was a close-run thing. On another occasion I entered the anchorage in Anguilla only to find it full of large, dark shapes. I anchored well out. The morning revealed them as wrecks from a hurricane that had given us a bit of a dusting out at sea. In other words, you never know what you’ll find, so arrive in daylight if you can.

Light pollution If you do find yourself planning close-in night pilotage, be aware of light pollution. A nice fat buoy may be sited bang in front of a funfair. Napoleon said his enemies lost battles because ‘they made pictures’ – torturing the hard facts until they saw what they wanted to see. Many a navigator has come unstuck for committing the same sin. Old hands will recall a cartoon featuring an oilskinned man in a cockpit peering through binoculars and announcing something along the lines of, ‘I say, Henry, your red buoy seems to be advertising Toby Ales. The white beacon is hanging outside the gents.’

It’s impossible to see a liner’s nav lights at sea. AIS and radar will help

Poorly lit craft Yachts: Inshore, yachts can be hard to spot. I have had narrow squeaks coming into places like Portsmouth with strong background lighting and a tight channel for leisure craft. Yachts are especially awkward if they opt for a tricolour at the masthead instead of proper running lights in close quarters. You are looking ahead for trouble, not up in the sky! Tricolours are great on passage, though, increasing your likelihood of being spotted and minimising power drain.

Fishing boats: These are notorious for being poorly lit and for having their navigation lights obscured by blazing deck floods. Watch them closely and expect erratic course changes. Don’t get too close!

Liners and ferries: Cruise ships and ferries are invariably lit up like Oxford Street on Christmas Eve. It’s hard to pick out the red and green amongst the fairy lights, so take time to work out what they’re up to and consult AIS if you have it.

On-watch crew must understand that if they are in any doubt about a situation on deck, wake the skipper. It’s always the right thing to do

Keeping watch and sleeping.

System or no system? For one night with two watch keepers and assuming the skipper is the decision-maker, he or she will need to be up at any ‘pinch points’ – shipping lanes, landfalls, headlands and so on. If the night includes a lot of these, such as crossing the southern North Sea, it may be better to run on a casual basis with the skipper taking the tricky bits and the mate backing up in between. If the passage is less demanding, a simple watch system will certainly be favoured, with pre-planned ‘skipper hours’.

Simple is best When a watch system is appropriate, my wife and I operate like this: Fair weather – we break the theoretical 12-hour night up into four and work it three hours on, three off. That’s enough to grab some useful sleep but not so long that the watch on deck starts nodding off. During the nominal daylight hours we rest according to needs and conscience. We arrive in good shape. Bad weather – Two on, two off. Really bad weather – one-hour watches, and hang on. We can stand anything for a single night.

Night orders For a partnership or a couple of old chums, written orders aren’t usually necessary, but if there’s any doubt, it’s a sound idea. These include courses to steer, any anticipated alterations and, most importantly, when to call the skipper, for anything from a change in the weather to a possible close-quarters situation with another vessel. The vital thing is not to be afraid to call. No skipper sleeps well if there’s any concern about this.

Near the centre of gravity, a good sea berth has a reading light and stout lee cloth

Pick a proper sea berth I used to drive a race boat where my only hope of sleep was to crash out on top of the sail bags under the cockpit. I also delivered a supposedly serious cruising yacht to the Mediterranean with a crew of four. Two of the hands coped in the forecabin with a sheet of plywood jammed down the middle of the vee-berth to stop them rolling into one another. The lady among us selected the aft cabin, which boasted a fine island double bunk. Sadly, this proved a vanity of Biblical proportions and she ended up making a nest of duvets and sleeping bags on the cabin sole. As for me, I camped on the saloon floor under the table, sleeping on… sail bags again!

This just won’t do on a family boat. If your yacht has no sea berths, sell her to the unsuspecting and buy one that does. Sea-berths must have lee cloths or boards, and be aft or near the middle of the boat, low down to minimise motion. A decent reading light is vital. If sleep won’t come, it is important to take your mind away from the action.

Some decent grub will fill a gap and keep you going throug the dark hours

Good food to see you through For a one-night passage there’s much to be said for preparing an evening meal before you let go the dock lines. Make it eatable from a bowl. A simple stew will taste great. Put the spuds in early too, so all you have to do is heat up a single pan. More ambitious gourmets may prefer a spicy chilli, but this will require the chef to come up with some rice on passage. Whatever you choose, make enough of it that you won’t manage to finish it at dinner. The remainder can stay in the pan, minimising washing up and giving the watch the luxury of warming it up for a bowl-full at midnight. It passes the time and fills the gap.

Two of nature’s imcomparable glories – the sunrise and sizzling bacon

Be sure to stow the makings of a proper breakfast. Just the anticipation of a crispy bacon sandwich can keep a man going through that often-bleak period after dawn and before sunrise. If it’s looking like it’s going to be a rough passage, knock up some filled rolls while you still can, and be sure the greedy box is well stocked with all the fat-boy food you can conjure up. Hot drinks are axiomatic. Boiling a kettle and having somewhere safe to place a mug while you serve a ‘Cupasoup’ or an instant coffee has to be easy. If it isn’t and you are reduced to pre-heating thermos flasks, there is something wrong with your boat or your arrangements. Keep the drinks coming. They maintain morale and give people something to do.

If you see something you’re not sure about, grab the binoculars and take a closer look

Safety on watch Wear a lifejacket if you feel the need, if it makes you feel safer, but don’t feel obliged to do so in fair weather, provided you stay in the cockpit. The harness tether is the thing, and if this comes as part of the lifer, so much the better. In that case, you’re covered all ends up.

It’s not always easy to force discipline on yourself, but it really does make sense to call your mate if you’re going to have to climb out of the cockpit and up on deck. Gents are well advised to use the heads for jobs big and small when alone on watch at night. Using the great outdoors may be OK in flat calm, but if you’re motoring along at 6 knots under autopilot when things go wrong and you take a dive after deciding not to bother with your harness, your mate will have a long way to come back.

I asked my wife what I might add about safety on watch. Her reply was interesting. ‘Use binoculars,’ she replied. ‘Is that safety or just good practice?’ I enquired. Her reply says it all. ‘I didn’t know there was any difference.’ Safety is not about buying things. It is about an attitude of mind. We must constantly be on the lookout for trouble at night so that we can forestall it, just as we do in the daytime.

We’re not designed to stay up all night. Sit around and you will succumb

Staying awake Our daily lives aren’t set up for sleeping in short chunks then keeping awake for half the night. Given a longer trip, it’s surprising how well most people adapt, but a one-nighter is more of a sprint than an endurance race, so we must take what sleep is offered. A few hours’ rest will do us fine. There will be a grey period around dawn when we wonder why we bothered, but when the sun comes up, all is forgotten.

Assuming you have an autopilot or the boat can be persuaded to steer herself for a while, keeping a three-hour watch in decent weather is not onerous. Don’t sit in the cockpit thinking about your overdraft. Move around. Scrutinise the horizon first. If there’s no shipping, pop down below and put on the kettle. Stick your head out at least every five minutes to make sure nothing has changed, then make your tea. Drink it on deck and look around again.

Tea and a biscuit under a majestic roof fretted with golden fire

My watch always goes quickly. I read the radar, check the course made good, fill in the hourly log with a bit of an essay on the side, make a meal at half-time (heat up last night’s chilli), consider the stars in their courses, come back to earth watching the ships and fishing boats trying to run me down, and finally brewing up for my wife who sensibly won’t come out from her duvet without a fresh cup made with lemon. Then it’s back to the bunk, snooze off and wait for the bacon.

Night palette or not, some instruments’ backlighting is just too much

Look after your night vision Allowing the eyes to accommodate to the night takes a little time. I’ve heard that this is a quarter-hour but I can’t say I’ve noticed. One thing that may help is this: apparently, the irises of our eyes operate independently. If you have established good night vision on deck and must go below into light, shut one eye and keep it closed. When you come back up again, open it and that one will have retained much of its ability to see in the dark. The other will catch up in its own time. Down below, I always kept one oil lamp burning low. This gave me all the light I need to brew up or fill in the log book without dazzling. Today, a modern LED dimmed down does the same. Turn down the backlight on all plotter screens, radars and on-deck instruments. I don’t bother with so-called night palettes. They don’t work for me.

A masthead tricolour is great under sail out at sea because it doesn’t shine back off the pulpit as most running lights do. I turn the cockpit instruments off sometimes because they kill the view even at minimum backlight setting. 
I don’t need all that data most of the time, just the friendly old compass with its tiny light.

A clear halo around the moon indicates there’s a front approaching. Best crack on

Night’s influence on the weather My old pal Frank Singleton, author of Reeds Weather Handbook and a proper professional when it comes to weather, sent me the following ideas about weather at night. All air usually cools at night, even over the sea. This will be more obvious when it has been a sunny day not far from land. The result is that there are fewer gusts and a decrease in the average wind strength.

On a night with low-lying cloud or hill fog, some lighthouses will not be visible. Note the height of the lantern from the chart and be ready for the occasional disappointment. Haloes around the moon can be really obvious at night. A big one is usually a sure sign of an approaching front. If the wind is light, think about starting the engine and keeping up boatspeed. In conditions when the air is moist, a degree or so of cooling after dark might be just enough to shut down poor-to-moderate visibility into mist or even fog. Distant lightning is more easily seen at night, so don’t be too alarmed if you see it flashing around the horizon.

Some feel uneasy about sailing into the sunset and beyond but it’s not difficult amd the experience in unforgettable
